What will the transportation of the future look like? What types of engineering or technology will vehicles feature? These Physics lessons explore both established and alternative forms of
What will houses of the future look like? This Physics project-based lesson helps students explore what houses of the future might look like based on their geographical locations and climate. Students
This engaging lesson allows students the opportunity to employ prior knowledge while demonstrating knowledge of various standards in an inter-disciplinary, hands-on lesson. The utilization of data
I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.
This is the second part of the 5E lesson Greenhouse Gases and the biosphere. It contains the Explain and Elaborate sections of the lesson. Students will be using computers to gather more information
Students will create an Operation Style Game using the Makey Makey Kits and the coding program SCRATCH. Students will learn how to create circuits and use the Makey Makey Kits to complete circuits to
This lesson is an introductory lesson to our unit of Human Impact on the Environment. Students will look at Greenhouse Gases and see how they effect the temperature at the Earth's Surface. This is a
Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.
The challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code
Students will upload their pictures into the Stop Motion app on the Ipad to edit with sound effects. Students will then be able to select a green screen background to use when they upload the film
Lesson 3 of 4 - This lesson focuses on students will begin taking photographs of their Lego “set” using the Ipad or Chromebook on a tripod to capture stop-motion movement with the individual pictures
A Stop Motion Animated Movie with a Green Screen background based off of a Lego Challenge built in Lesson 1. Students will create a storyboard and script. This is Lesson 2 of 4 lessons.
Part 1 of a four-part series of lessons that begins with a Lego Challenge which will become the set for a stop motion video created by students.
This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car
This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.
This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.
Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.
In this first part of a three part unit, students explore the phenomenon of an LED light and a coin battery. They will discover the difference between a closed and open circuit, using a STEM journal
Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students
In Arizona, rain a major component of the water cycle, is a precious and vital. Students will gain an understanding of the three phase of watrer on the earth: solid, liquid and gas and the four stages
Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic
Review of Newton’s Laws of Motion Review of potential and kinetic energy. Review of transformational energy. How does mass impact kinetic energy? What is a chain reaction? What is a Rube Goldberg
